Before I moved to China, I lived in Singapore, before that, Abu-Dabi, before that, maybe three weeks in the Philipines. I was only born in the Philipines, then I moved to Abu-Dabi with my family. We spent a year there and then moved into Singapore. I think we moved around mainly because of my dad’s job.
Before I was born, my parents lived and grew up in the Philipines. My mom in a place called Daet and my dad in Manila. Then they met in Manila and poof, look at me! Then we moved because of my dad’s job and then we moved again because of my dad’s job again!
I think that I didn’t feel that bad about moving since I was pretty young. Also the same with my brother, who was born there and was also young. I think at that time I just wondered about my friend and what would happen. Right now, every once in a while, I think about him…
The main reason I’m moving is because of my dad
I Wonder Why… May 18, 2009
Posted by Byron in Fun, Writing.add a comment
I was sitting in the nurse’s office one day after school. My mom was the nurse so I had to stay in school until she left. I had finished all my homework and I had nothing to do. So my mom said something like, ‘Why don’t you write a poem titled I Wonder why?’ So I did. Here it is…
I Wonder Why
I wonder why, birds could fly.
I wonder why, all moms are wise.
I wonder why, a cook would fry.
I wonder why, deserts are dry.
I wonder why, stings come from flys.
And last of all,
I wonder why, I wonder why.
An Object May 14, 2009
Posted by Byron in Fun, Homework.add a comment
For homework, tonight we had to pick an object, or a picture, and write a minumum of 3 paragraphs describing the object. Here I was, staring around in the study room. Getting distracted by the computer and it’s… Wait, I got it!!! The computer!!!! So here is my description…
Ahh, the computer. A very interesting devie programmed to do many things. When you first take a stare at it, you may think it looks like a hunk of metal with keys on it. But that hunk of metal can do many things such as create movies and pictures. The keys on it are used to navigate and create things like a blog around the device. You may see lights flashing around, those could be signals for battery power, wirless internet, sound, all kinds of things. To be truthful, the computer doesn’t smell like anything
The actual shape may seem like a big book turned sideways and is standing up. If you tap on it, you will feel as if it is metal. Actually, it is made out of metal, but you get the point. It’s hard but, to my opinion, is fairly easy to break. The surface of my particular computar is smooth in some areas and a little bit rough in other parts. There are also slots to put things like headphones in.
When you actually get into the computer, the program people most widely use is the internet. It is filled with pages called websites. Each of these ‘pages’ has writing, text, and possibly pictures and a video. These sites can be used to put down information, downloads, and or fun things. Right now the main program that I am using is the internet. Hopefully it’s not eight o’ clock yet, *checks the time* oh, yes it is. You see, the computer even has a digital clock feature on it.
There are many more things that can be done on the computer, but to day them all would take 20 years. The last thing I’ll say is the a company called ‘Microscoft’ creats many of these programs and is constantly ugrading them.
Healthy Meal Project May 12, 2009

Why I Consider This a Healthy Meal
I consider this a healthy meal because if you look at all of the foods cooked, each one of them goes into one or two food groups. I added the milk so I could have that group and the fruits so the fruit group would be filled. I did this because I did not want to have one of the food groups missing.
Transition Day May 11, 2009

During Transition day the whole 5th grade went over to the middle-school. (6th Grade) In the morning, we had 5 minutes to rest and then we were of to the 6th grade classrooms. My class’s first class we visited was science class. The teacher explained what we would be doing next year in science and also gave us a bit of background information on the whole 6th grade. The morning followed like that; Teachers would tell us about the class and what we would be doing. At about 10:30, we continued on to the specials. ( PE, Art, Music, Global languages) In P.E. instead of telling us what we would do my group played a game. The specials were all similar, a little bit of talking and then a game, or stations of games. This lasted for about half the day and then we all continued as if it was a normal school day.
The Awesome Diet-Coke and Mentos Experiment May 7, 2009
Posted by Byron in Fun, Homework, Science, Thinking about my Learning, Visitors.add a comment
Today, before school ended Mr.Hossack announced something like, “I’ve got a bottle of diet coke and 2 packs of mentos. If everyone does a psot explaining how to do it we’ll do the experiment tommorow.” So here is my post… (This will be great!!!)
I did this with my friends once inside my compound. We went into a shop, bought some diet-coke and mentos, then found a nice, quiet place. (soon to be loud with laghter) Then we did the experiment the simple way. We opened the cap, set it on the floor, put the mentos in, (whole pack) and stand back and watch. We enjoyed it so much! What I first thought would be an ordinary downstairs play turned into a great and fun playdate.
Before we tried I had watched videos of people doing it only with ordinary mentos. When my friends and I did it, we had the extra sour, or maybe extra minty? I forget, it was a long time ago. But I realized that the extra minty mento worked best. Also that it is best to have a big pack of the coke for it to be even more fun. If you only have a small bottle your excitement won’t last as long if you have the big pack.
Mothers Day May 5, 2009

Mothers Day is coming up and I have browsed through the web to find things. I was looking through Cleet’s blog and found a post reating to ‘widget’. The site that the post focused on was http://www.myhotcomments.com. Then I clicked on that website, looked what they had, then went to Mother’s Day. Here is a poem from the site.
I think this is true.
Here is a poem I’ve come up. (basically on the spot, so not that good)
Mother’s Day Mother’s day is a special day, for moms’ to enjoy, and to take a moment to breathe. Relax, loosen up, chill…. chill out. Then go to parties like a teenage girl, and have some fun while men take care; And so the same comes when it’s Father’s Day.Poem/Turtle April 23, 2009

Here is a poem I have made in class during the writing period.
Turtles
Turtles crawl into their shells
when danger lurks.
For they are too slow and too weak
to defend itself from any predator
Food and Nutrition April 21, 2009
Posted by Byron in Fun, Science, Visitors.add a comment
I copied something of Mr.Hossacks blog; Some questions asking nutrition questions.
1. Define nutrition?
Nutrition is a measurement of energy that is needed to sustain your body. It could be the food groups in the food pyramid, like everything in the meat and beans group.
2. What is a calorie?
A measurement of energy, also a unit of heat. The energy is available through the process of digestion. Your body needs calories as energy to perform normal tasks like running around.
3. What foods should a young person be eating? Why should they eat these?
Young people should be eating lots of grain foods, vegetables and fruits and meat and poultry group. Grains because to me and a lot of people they are the most important part of the meals. Fruits and vegetables because they are very healthy and have many vitamins such as vitamin A and C. Meat and poultry because it gives you lots of protein and some vitamins. (it also tastes good)

Here is a cool show featuring the Mythbusters making a Goldberg machine. It’s so cool. I think it’s a short version though because lot’s of their movies are about half an hour.
